You can’t apply at the Post Office if your name has changed. You’ll need to apply by post.

You need to take:

the completed renewal form D798

your photocard licence if you have it

the fee of £17

The Post Office will charge an extra £4.50 fee to process your application.

Your driving licence should arrive within 3 weeks. It might take longer if your medical or personal details need to be checked.

You can’t download a copy of form D798, but if you don’t get your renewal reminder you may still be able to renew your licence at selected Post Offices. You’ll need to have your current photocard licence.
